Because we currently live in a digital renaissance of eternal contrarianism, a widespread dislike of "Friends" is something that, I, a diehard "Friends" fan, have come to accept from the general populace with the same resigned disdain that I generally reserve for Republicans and leafy greens. I get that everyone loved "Friends" for so long that it's now officially cool to hate on "Friends." I hold...

You know who was awesome? Fucking Good Charlotte, man. Good Charlotte got big in 2003, when I was 16 and was a newly-minted punk rock fan. I was listening to the Sex Pistols and the Buzzcocks, a little bit of the Clash, some Ramones, and tons and tons of ska. Everyone my age had some level of appreciation for Green Day, friends had gotten me into NOFX, Anti-Flag, and Alkaline Trio, and Blink-182 was...

I cut my hair in August, going from a tangle of shoulder length, non-committal hair that was usually piled atop my head in an attempt at a topknot, to a short, flippy little crop. For the first time in a long time, I had a Capital H Haircut, a style that needed to be maintained and wrangled into submission. My hair was suddenly an accessory that I had to deal with every morning.
Short hair is deceptive....

“I’m getting married in September, and there is nothing that I want more than for this to be a super-duper chill affair. To that end, I’d rather my bridesmaids just find something comfortable to wear that they like and that looks good on them, but a few of them have told me that they need just a little more direction than that. How can I set up some guidelines for bridesmaid dresses and still...

Hands down, my absolute favorite person to talk to about dating and basically every other carnal-related topic is My Straight Single Dude BFF. As his name suggests, he is also single and straight and we often turn to each other for advice, a second opinion and to share dating/sexual war stories, mostly via text because we don’t live in the same city. (And yes, before you even ask, because I know...

Patricia Arquette's Oscar acceptance speech imploring for wage equality was met with applause by her peers, including Meryl Streep. However, as The Frisky told you yesterday, her backstage interview -- which was reasonably referred to as "tone deaf" where racial politics are concerned -- attracted negative attention and response. To recap, this is what she said:
"It's time for women. Equal means equal....

Calvin Klein designer Francisco Costa isn't going to make you a custom pearl-encrusted gown like Lupita Nyong'o's and you probably will never get to wear a $1.5 million Van Cleef and Arpels necklace like Margot Robbie, but if you break open your piggy bank and dig beneath the couch cushions, you'll likely have enough to get one of these five winning Oscar beauty looks.

I was casually strolling down a sunny Hawaiian street in the small town of Captain Cook alongside a new girlfriend I hadmade a few weeks earlier, when a man pulled his truck over just behind us and tried to get our attention. My immediate response was to ignore him and continue walking, immersed in our conversation. After years of living in cities, dealing with the constant hustle and bustle and catcalling...

There comes a time in every young, pop culture-obsessed woman's life when she wonders if crystal fiend celebs like Spencer Pratt and Miranda Kerr might know something we don't. Everyone who bought a Kabbalah bracelet raise your hand – you're not allowed to laugh. Here's our beginner guide for those interested in spiritual healing, emotional self-discovery, and opening up the same chakras as David...

Shopping for a bathing suit is a hellish endeavor, regardless of your size. The fitting rooms are small, weird and equipped with horrific lighting and mirrors that make you look like fresh hell. If you're a straight size — aka nothing bigger than a 16 or so — shopping for bathing suits might be slightly less horrible. Should you choose to accept the challenge, you could find a bathing suit in...

Ariane is a survivor of late stage Lyme Disease and chemical poisoning,...

A little over a week ago, I anonymously published a Frisky Rant piece titled "I Don't Care If You Haven't Come Yet." It detailed an encounter I had with a male partner where, after experiencing a great orgasm, I wanted a moment to enjoy and recuperate -- much to his dismay. He was very upset that he had not yet climaxed and wanted to continue to have sex, but my body had already entered the "refractory...

The original Dater X is happily married to the Young One, while Dater X 2.0 just ended her run after making things official with Tim -- so who will be Dater X 3.0? Hopefully one of you! We're officially looking for our next anonymous dating blogger, and while the ability to form thoughts and feelings into sentences is key, we're not limiting our search to women who write for a living. If you're single,...

"When we last got together, part of it was that Bill and Ted were supposed to have written the song that saved the world, and it hasn't happened. So they've now become kind of possessed by trying to do that. Then there's an element of time and they have to go back." —Keanu Reeve… More »

I remember someone telling me years ago that burglars look through wedding sections and obituaries to pick their targets. If someone in a family is getting married or if there's a family funeral—chances are no one will be home. Looks like someone used this method to break into sweet Canadian crooner Michael Buble's house… More »

Taking a page out of those girls you went to high school with who can't stop smugly posting every detail of their perfect lives on Facebook, Lady Gaga shaded America's youngest grandma Taylor Swift just perfectly on Twitter yesterday. It all started when Jaime King's unborn child's godmother tweeted about Gaga, using the preferred…

Oh look, it's hottest DILF alive, Ryan Gosling, making a rare appearance in public grabbing lunch in LA today. And what's that I see? In addition to his perfectly worn T-shirt (that collar is stretched just so), hoodie and leather jacket, the Gos is rocking a few faint letters on his knuckles, spelling out the…
